Separating Your Identities

By
If you've been blogging for a while, you probably have a small collection of blogs. Some blogs may deal with your personal life - maybe your family life, hobbies, political or social activities. Other blogs may deal with your professional life. Sometimes, you may consider that the two (or more) personalities should be kept separate. Maybe your personal life would conflict with professional issues, or maybe your politics need to be kept separate from your family.

The safest and most effective way to keep the two separate would be to have separate Google accounts. If you're an experienced blogger, though, you know that's not an easy task. If you have access to only one computer, that's a recipe for disaster.

Short of having separate accounts, consider two isolation techniques.
  • Remove the "About Me" page element from the sensitive blogs. You can have your own version of "About Me", with very little trouble, if you wish.
  • From the dashboard, Edit your profile, and change the list linked from "Show my blogs", to not show the sensitive blogs.
These are two simple techniques that, properly done, will at least prevent the casual reader from connecting the wrong blogs with your different identities.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

By
When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.

Referer Spam Is Annoying - And, It's Persistent

By
Recently, we've seen a few blog owners who are curious about odd trends in their Stats displays. My numbers seem to go up steadily for a while, then drop. Then, they go up again, for a while, then drop again. Rises and falls in traffic are normal. You'll never have the same number of people, viewing your blog, constantly. During some days and some hours, our readers are going to be elsewhere, and not viewing our blogs.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

By
Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
